The Curiosity Framework
A structured approach to understanding behaviour, trauma, relationships and lived experience in schools.
Behaviour, belonging and relationships are often where need, stress and experience become most visible in education settings.
The Curiosity Framework supports staff to move beyond surface-level responses and develop deeper understanding through relational, reflective and evidence-informed practice.
FREE • INFORMAL • NO PRESSURE TO COMMIT.
Curiosity sits beneath the surface
of inclusion & belonging.
A framework supports staff to explore relationships, lived experience and context — strengthening how inclusion is felt and experienced across a school.
The Curiosity Framework brings together three connected areas of learning:
Each module builds understanding over time, helping staff make sense of behaviour, strengthen relationships and respond in ways that are thoughtful, consistent and grounded in real contexts.
FREE • INFORMAL • NO PRESSURE TO COMMIT.
Learning is shaped by context & reflection, not click-through content.
Relational practice is shaped collectively, not individually.
The Curiosity Framework is designed to support shared understanding across a whole staff team — helping behaviour, inclusion and belonging to be held consistently in everyday practice.
In practice, this includes:
- Whole-staff access to our learning modules
- A shared language for understanding behaviour, relationships and lived experience
- Opportunities for reflection, discussion and application over time
- Integration with wider training, provision or school development priorities
The focus is not on completing content, but on developing a consistent, relational, trauma-informed approach across an entire provision and community.

Flexible learning that fits around the pressures of day-to-day school life.
Professional learning should feel manageable, not overwhelming.
The Curiosity Framework is designed to sit alongside the realities of school life — not add pressure:
- Learning is broken into short, bitesize sessions (around 20–25 minutes)
- Staff can engage flexibly over time, rather than relying on single training days
- Content can be revisited, reflected on and applied in practice
- Reduces reliance on one-off INSET, supporting ongoing professional development
Alongside the online learning, staff are supported by experienced practitioners, creating space for reflection, discussion and translating ideas into practice.
This makes learning more sustainable, embedded and relevant to day-to-day work, supporting belonging for every child, in every school.

Three modules,
one connected framework.
Two ways to engage with The Curiosity Framework
Schools can engage in a way that suits their needs — either through individual modules or a longer-term framework.
Standalone Modules
For schools wanting a more gradual and targeted journey towards staff and culture development:
Each module can be accessed individually, allowing schools to focus on a specific area such as trauma, attachment or relational practice.
This works well for:
- Targeted staff development
- Building understanding in a specific area
- Complementing existing work

On-hand support
You'll be supported, challenged and championed by experts throughout.
A Framework Approach
For schools wanting a more structured, sustained approach to staff development & CPD:
Year One - Developing understanding
Staff engage with the modules, building knowledge around trauma, relationships and relational practice with the guidance of experienced practitioners throughout.
Year 2 - Developing practice
The focus shifts to applying this understanding in context; refining responses, strengthening consistency and embedding relational approaches across the setting.
This cycle of learning is delivered through Q&A, live seminars and reflective activities supported by on-hand practitioners.
This approach supports long-term, meaningful change, rather than short-term training impact.
What does this look like in practice?
This work connects directly to everyday school life..
Schools using The Curiosity Framework often notice:
- Greater consistency in how staff understand and respond to behaviour
- Stronger relationships between adults and children
- Increased confidence across staff teams
- A shared language that supports collaboration and reflection
What do schools have to say?
“This has changed more than just staff knowledge — it’s changed how we work as a team.
The bitesize structure meant people could genuinely engage with the learning around their day-to-day responsibilities, rather than feeling overwhelmed by it. What made the biggest difference was the ongoing support alongside the modules — it gave us the space to reflect, ask questions and actually translate the learning into consistent practice across the school.
It doesn’t feel like a course we completed. It feels like a shift in how we understand and respond.”
